In light of Radoslaw Cierzniak making his (disastrous) appearance in last night's Champions League encounter away to Dortmund it got me thinking.

How many ex-Dundee United FC players can we name that have appeared in the Champions League group or knock-out stage?

I'll add one to the mix Alex Cleland (Rangers).

So so far we're at ....

Radoslaw Cierzniak (Legia Warsaw)
Alex Cleland (Rangers)

Others? (Add to list)

bizarrely, lars hirschfield, who is without doubt the worst united keeper I have ever seen, played in the champions league for a norwegian team

Gary Bollan and Richard Gough at Deadco.

Not sure if he was injured or not but Kevin Gallacher at Blackburn or Newcastle?

Duncan Ferguson at Newcastle? At Deadco?

Gough
Bollan
Zaluska?

Kevin Gallacher & Billy Mckinlay were both at Blackburn when they were in the CL but Gallacher had a long term injury and McKinlay was signed after the CL squads were submitted so neither played a game.

Rocky Raccoon · 23/11/2016 7:48 am

I remember Bollan being absolutely roasted by Del Piero at Ibrox.

Just checked, Gallacher started Blackburns last game against Rosenborg and was subbied after 17 mins.

Shocking European campaign from Blackburn, not as bad a Spurs this season though.

I think you're thinking of Cleland RR.

He got the roasting of a lifetime iirc.

Del Piero done that wee Cruyff turn against him and made him look like a schoolboy.

Sinama Pongolle for Liverpool. Russell Latapy for Porto. Not sure about Gregory Vignal, he was at Liverpool and might have played in the CL.
